All graphs were drawn using Prism GraphPad. Michaelis−Menten kinetics data was also calculated using Prism. Substrate inhibition curves were plotted using Prism or the Dynafit software and the equations in Scheme 1 [53 (link)], where Ks and Kss are dissociation constants and kcat is the turnover of the enzyme in min−1. The Km and Vmax were determined using Prism, using points below the substrate inhibition concentrations.
Scheme 1. Mechanism for substrate inhibition. This mechanism assumes that enzyme I has two substrate (S) binding sites: a catalytic site for normal catalysis and a second non-catalytic or allosteric binding site. When substrate is bound at both sites (SES), the product (P) is produced at a reduced rate.
